 Written on June 27, 2005 Summary: Classical Music that Classical Music Lovers Hate Why even listen to this stuff when you know it all already? The most cliched yawn melodies by great composers. All this stuff is overplayed.  Written on June 25, 2005 Summary: Have You Ever Walked Into a Supermarket.... ...and they had tables set out where you could try "samples" of different food products? To me, that's what collections like these are. The samples that entice people to buy the real stuff. For $15 you get 4 cd's and 58 snippets of well known classical pieces. I imagine everyone has heard some - be it a few, alot, or even all - of the selections from this album. I, for one, am glad to be able to put a name and composer to many of these melodies that I've heard for years but have never known what they were or who wrote them. This has been a great guide for helping out with future classical purchases. I can't imagine anyone who's really serious about classical music using this as any kind of "be-all, end-all" collection. For one, there is no such thing. Sure, the selections from this set are no doubt all famous, but there's still hundreds of super popular pieces omitted. I imagine there are people out there who buy a set or two of classical music and are happy that they can just hear these popular pieces they've heard throughout the years, but if you ask me, people like that really don't like classical at all. Hence, perhaps the target audience of this set. Anyway, I think the purists should give collections like this and the people who buy them a break. We're not all lazy bums who want to take the easy road to getting into classical. In fact, I imagine there's many more like me who just use this as some kind of starting place - a reference for future purchases. Either way, at $15 this is still a good deal. It's true most of the performances on here are from no name conductors and orchestras and do indeed sound like they are - but as a reference guide, I think this album is well worth it.  Written on May 20, 2005 Summary: Excellent collection What a deal, very much worth the money and a big time saver, versus buying all this music separately. And it has the haunting Orff (sp?) piece, sounds like The Omen. Written on May 17, 2005 Summary: I Hate 'Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music' Thirty-second snippets of horribly cliched classical music? Check. Grainy recordings by obscure conductors? Check. Marketed towards ignorant soccer moms and yuppies? Check. WHAT A DEAL! Looking for a high-brow introduction into the massive juggernaut that is Western classical music? Well, go away. This CD is strictly for the diluded and lazy. However, if you're looking for something to play in the background over a candlelit dinner of Hamburger Helper with you significant other, then by all means purchase this failure. Written on February 6, 2005 Summary: nice compilation This CD is exactly what it says it is, music for those who hate classical music. There's something for everyone in here, music that you'll most likely recognize. Great for unwinding after work or when stuck in traffic jams. I think some of the reviewers have gotten a little confused. This CD is for those of us who HATE classical music. We certainly don't want to go out and get a DEGREE in it, or really spend any mental energy on classical music at all. Or spend any more money buying the original recordings. Spare us the elitism. |
